Introduction
Snake is an extremely popular, addictive game.
This version has been named as iSnake as a tribute
to the late Steve Jobs. This version is a variant from
the normal versions where one has to use the arrow
keys to control the Snake. In this version the user
has to use the mouse to control the snake. Watch
out for fruits and bonus fruits.
SO ENJOY....HAPPY PLAYING!!!!!

Levels:
The game has 5 levels with increasing difficulty

Only after eating all the fruits ,a player can proceed

snake unless the player 'clicks' a move in which the
